We lack social awareness because we're so focused on what we're going to say next - and how what other people are saying affects us - that we completely lose sight of other people. This is a problem because people are complicated. You can't hope to understand someone until you focus all of your attention in his or her direction.

No one always or never does anything. People don't see themselves as one-dimensional, so you shouldn't attempt to define them as such.

The beauty of social awareness is that a few simple adjustments to what you say can vastly improve your relationships with other people.
